The dust in the air has not yet cleared.

Gran couldn't see the dawn of the morning, the cold air he breathed in was full of dust, the land in front of him was devastated, the river was full of mud and sand, and the deformed corpses of animals and plants were everywhere.

This is the post-cataclysmic world.

Many of the races that survived the natural disaster are still facing a future of extinction.

Azure looked at the desolate scene in front of her, and thought of the scene where the sea in her hometown was already full of floating corpses of living creatures, and many islands were destroyed by the tsunami.

At this moment, she felt that everything in the past had become quite beautiful, and Azure couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"yes, how can you make it?"

When Gran heard this, his heart changed a little.

After saying goodbye to the Ancestor Yanlong, he relied on the idea of protecting the Azure Ones, and didn't think about anything else.

But now Azure was actually affected by his casual words, and felt hopeless about the future.

Gran didn't think it would work, so he said, "Didn't we predict that the current situation would happen, and we predicted a worse situation, at least now that Dragon Valley is not flooded by sea or lava. ”

"Indeed." Azure sighed, "But after actually experiencing it, I feel that if Dragon Valley really falls into that situation, I will definitely collapse." ”

She actually felt that if Gran didn't come back, she might have collapsed.

After taking our attention away from the natural disaster,

Many dragons have noticed how badly the environment has been damaged, and the joy of surviving the natural disaster is gone, replaced by a sense of despair about the future.

The serious injury of Red, who is the strongest man in Dragon Valley, also hit morale hard.

Azure smiled bitterly: "It's good that you rushed back, otherwise I don't know how many dragons would have died." ”

She had been treating the other dragons just now, and she felt tired before she came to talk to Gran.

Azure had a lot to say and wanted to blame Gran, but seeing that Gran was still alive, she didn't want to say anything.

"Yes, I'm back." Gran said earnestly, "Now that I'm back, then I need to pull Ryugu out of this abyss of despair and give them hope in their hearts. ”

He got up from the rock he was leaning on and said with a smile: "Now that such a decision has been made, we must not waste time here, we must act." ”

At this moment, a slender tentacle stood in front of him.

Azure said, "Wait, you're in a bad state right now, you just look great." ”

Azure was right, although Gran seemed to be relatively intact, he had already drained the starlight energy in his body.

The mixed life energy brought to him by those moonlights yesterday was very difficult to transform, and it also polluted a lot of normal starlight energy, most of which was still used to treat Red, and the energy used to restore the body was squeezed out.

It seems that the body that has recovered is still full of severe pain, and it can be said that Gran is now in a very weak state.

Gran said forcefully: "How can it be, that is, with more energy, you can still fight if you want to." ”

"You can fool other dragons with such words, but you can't fool me."

Azure glared at Gran and said, "You don't want to sacrifice yourself to fulfill the other dragons, you shouldn't do that. ”

Her tone became anxious: "Since you have given up going to the other world, let's live in this world steadily... At least if you're alive, you'll have a chance to find the past.

"The Ancestral Dragon said that this is the last chance, but it is not clear whether this is the last chance, maybe there are other ways to go to the other world besides breaking through the heavenly realm."

Azure had red eyes at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "... I've spent decades with you, and I've never been so close to any other dragon. I hope you promise me not to be impulsive and to live well. ”

Gran knew what Teal meant.

He thought for a moment and said calmly, "Well, I promise you, for the sake of you and Ryugu, as well as myself, I will live as much as I can, do more useful things, and get us out of the current miserable situation, no matter how long." ”

"Swear by my real name, Gran."

Azure rarely heard Gran mention her real name, and she almost never heard Gran swear by her real name, and she was a little stunned.

"I remember that we rarely made promises to each other, so I decided to swear by my real name... Although in my credibility, swearing by my real name may not have much effect. ”

Gran felt that he should have little credibility in the blue eyes.

"It's enough for you to swear by your real name."

Azure waved his right paw to purify the air of dust, and then said, "You can rest here for a while, or you can go back and take care of those little ones, I will have to help heal." ”

"Got it."

Gran adjusted his state and went back to see Red's daughters in good spirits.

When they were in the enchantment, the little ones were taken care of by the Green Dragon, and after the enchantment was closed, the Green Dragon had to negotiate with many races, so he left the toddlers in the care of Stone.

Because Gran asked the Titans to help repair the environment in Dragon Valley with their powers, he only knew the Titan language, not how to use the power of the Titans, so he asked Ston to help watch the situation.

So Ston was idle, just in time for him to help watch the kids.

Gran came to Stone.

He saw Red's daughter breaking Stone's rock armor, and the little guy was too weak to break Stone's rock armor, but hung on it.

Ston didn't say much about it, it had a good temper, and it didn't matter how much it was teased by Red's daughter, it was much easier to get used to than being teased by Ellen.

Gran snatched the little one from Stone's body, and he feared that the little one would be in danger, and said, "Why are you so energetic, why don't I play a game with you." ”

"Games?"

"Well, don't move around, just stay here and see how long you can last. If you can keep it up, then you win. ”

"I like... Outcome. The little one embraced the game, and Red loved to compete with other dragons, and his daughter seemed to have inherited that.

Ston knew that Gran was fooling the kids, but instead of commenting on it, he asked Gran, "How far do you want to restore Dragon Valley?" ”

Gran: "First I want to restore the land and rivers in Ryugu, then the vegetation, and then I'm doing something else, how long do you think it will take at the current pace?" ”

"We can help restore the land, and it will take a year or two to restore it. We can't restore the river, so you may have to go to the source. The vegetation is relatively easy to get, and the power of the moonlight is still in the land, and after a short period of transformation, you can directly plant the seeds of the plant into it, and the growth rate will be much faster. ”

Gran had anticipated the mass death of plants and animals, so he had prepared plant seeds in advance, which was one of the protected resources placed in the barrier, but there were not many types of seeds.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Then Gran went to Sain and said, "Sain, do me a favor, and when the time comes, please help me take care of this little fellow, and don't let the other young dragons bully her." He gestured to Red's daughter.

"Since it's Blake's request, then I'll definitely help."

Knowing that Red's daughter's resemblance to the dryad would cause some dragons to resent it, and although they wouldn't say it explicitly, they would subconsciously resist making contact with her, so Gran decided to ask Sain for help.

He probably won't have time to take care of these little ones in the future.
